Fasteners

Overview

A python package that provides useful locks.

It includes the following.

Reader-writer locks

• Multiple readers (at the same time).
• Single writers (blocking any readers).
• Helpful read_locked and write_locked decorators.

Inter-process locks

• Single writer using file based locking (these automatically release on process exit, even if __release__ or __exit__ is never called).
• Helpful interprocess_locked decorator.
